Now I never seen this trailer myself, but it should have the standard size stepdeck size tires, and they also look as though they are not LP's or low profile, so you should be able to contact any of your local tire dealers that sell truck tires, to find the exact inches in height, as most of the tires in the united states are imported anyway, and they all run the same size except Michelin, they were always the oddball, their big tires are bigger then the others, and their small tires are smaller then the others, but just ask the height of a standard stepdeck tire, and he should be able to give you the diminsions of it, remember they are not LP's, see low profile comes in all sizes, that is just the size from the rim to the outermost part of the tire, just like on the new cars how the tires aren't as thick as they used to be, it is just shorter sidewalls, where this picture shows high sidewalls
